Accrual Plan Structure In Oracle HRMS, accrual plans are based on elements, formulas, and a net accrual calculation. All of these are available for you to configure so you have complete control over the rules underlying your plans. Oracle HRMS does not store net accrual totals. It calculates gross accruals dynamically by calling the Accrual formula. The net accrual calculation specifies the element entries that should add to or subtract from this figure to create the net entitlement. If you use Oracle Payroll, you can set up your accrual plan so that gross accruals are stored in a payroll balance. Each payroll run retrieves the latest balance and calls the accrual formula to calculate new accruals since the end of the last payroll period. This approach – using a payroll balance – is optional but provides performance enhancements if you need to calculate accruals in a batch process

Accrual Balances Maintained By the Payroll Run If you use Oracle Payroll, you can choose to use a payroll balance to store gross accruals for an accrual plan. You do this by selecting a balance dimension (such as calendar year to date) when you define the accrual plan. The system then automatically generates the balance and other components you require.

Why Use a Payroll Balance? Some batch processes, such as the US Check Writer, call the accrual formula to calculate PTO accruals for each assignment. If you use such processes, you will benefit from faster batch processing if you set up your accrual plan to use a payroll balance. This reduces the number of calculations the formula has to perform.

How The Balance Is Maintained Payroll Run calls the Payroll Formula (database item)  calls the Accrual Formula that makes an entry to the Balance Element Feeding the Payroll Balance The payroll run maintains the payroll balance. When the payroll run processes an accrual plan element entry, it calls an Oracle Payroll formula associated with the accrual plan element. This formula calls your accrual formula to calculate the gross accrual, passing in the following information: • The

name of the database item for the payroll balance, so the accrual formula can retrieve the number of days or hours currently in the payroll balance

• Date

to begin calculating new accruals, which is the day after either the Date Earned or the Date Paid of the last payroll period in which the assignment was processed

You can choose whether the formula uses Date Paid or Date Earned by selecting the Payroll Balance Type for your business group in the Organization window. Date Earned is the date the payroll run uses to determine which element entries to process. In North America (and typically elsewhere too) it is the last day of the payroll period being processed. Date Paid is the date that appears on pay advices. The payroll run uses this date to select taxation rules, and store balances. In some legislations, these dates are always the same. • Calculation

date, which is either the date earned or the date paid of the payroll run The accrual formula returns the new gross accrual to an element that feeds the balance. So normally the formula only has to calculate accruals since the last payroll run, and add this value to the existing payroll balance. However, if the accrual formula finds absences entered retrospectively, it recalculates accruals for the whole year. This is to ensure that the employee receives their full accrual entitlement.

Complete the following fields: 1. Click on Save for a global link or check the Link to All Payrolls box / save 2. *Customers can create specific if needed, however they may have problems when the criteria changes Notes *Generally, Oracle recommends that customers use open links for PTO because of complications. Typically, PTO generates the open links automatically, which goes some way in preventing this problem: For Example: If the link criteria is based on assignment category and the person's assignment category changes on the 15th Jan, the person's link eligibility switches from one link to another. This automatically end-dates the persons existing PTO element on the 15th Jan and creates a new element, linked to the new link, from the 16th Jan. Technically, this has the same affect as removing the person from one accrual plan and putting them on another. With the current PTO functionality, there is no mechanism to transfer accruals from one plan to another. So if an employee leave Plan A in the middle of the year and join Plan B they lose all the year's accruals for plan A. To correct the customer would have to create an adjustment element, and add to the NCR (Net Calculation Rules) on the Accrual Plan. The links would be the same on both an Earnings and Information Elements!

Why am I picking Increasing? Increasing Balances of Time Taken As you would expect, an increasing balance for an absence type starts with no time entered, and increases as you enter employees’ hours or days absent. For example, if the absence type Compassionate Leave has an increasing balance, the balance starts from zero for each employee and increases by the number of hours entered for each absence of this type. Increasing balances are appropriate for most absence types. For absence types for which your enterprise sets a maximum time allowed, the system issues a message when an entry of time absent exceeds this maximum, or Oracle Alert can notify you when an employee reaches the maximum time or takes excess time. See: Oracle Alert User’s Guide When defining an absence type for a PTO accrual plan, you give it an increasing balance that shows the employee’s accrued time taken. When you record an absence using the Absence Detail window, you can see the amount of accrued time a plan participant has available for use as vacation or sick leave.

Decreasing Balances of Time Remaining If your enterprise sets a maximum time allowed for an absence type that is not connected to a PTO accrual plan, you have the option of setting up a decreasing balance for this type, instead of an increasing balance. For example, suppose your enterprise allows certain employees 32 hours leave per year for professional development. The Professional Leave absence type can have a decreasing balance, and an initial entry of 32 hours. If you record an employee absence of 4 hours for this absence type, the decreasing balance shows 28 hours still available to be taken. Decreasing absence balances require more maintenance than increasing balances. They need a prorated initial balance entry for all eligible new hires throughout the year, and require resetting each year for all eligible employees. Notice that an absence type cannot have both a decreasing and an increasing balance; it has one or the other.

Generated Elements The system generates the following elements when you save a new accrual plan: • An

element representing the plan and which has the same name as the plan. You use this element to enroll participants in the plan.

• An

element to hold participants’ unused PTO that is available for carry over to the next year.

• An

element to hold residual PTO, that is, unused PTO not available for carry over under plan rules.

If you use Oracle Payroll and have elected to store gross accruals in a payroll balance, the system also generates: • An

element to feed a payroll balance. This element receives an entry from the accrual formula during a payroll run.

•A

tagging element, which the payroll run uses to keep track of retrospective absences (and other element entries included in the net accrual calculation) that need to be included in the gross accrual calculation.

The Carried Over and Residual elements have input values that automatically receive entries when you run the PTO Carry Over process: • Hours

or Days (depending on the plan’s units)

• Effective Date • Expiry Date (on

the Carry Over element), which is the date by which the employee must use the carried over time. Oracle HRMS automatically links these elements using the same link criteria that you created for the absence element associated with the plan. If you change the links for the absence element, you should also update the links for the other plan elements.

How To Set Up An Accrual Plan To Use a Balance If you want the payroll run to maintain an accrual balance, you must use a formula that supports balances. This means that the system can pass the latest accrual balance to the formula, along with the date to start calculating new accruals to add to the balance. You can use or configure one of the following seeded formulas: • PTO_HD_ANNIVERSARY_BALANCE • PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION • PTO_SIMPLE_BALANCE_MULTIPLIER

You must also select a balance dimension when you define the accrual plan. The balance dimension controls the period of time over which the balance accumulates before it is reset to zero. Three types of dimension are predefined: Note: For each type, there are two dimensions. Use the Date Earned dimension (such as _ASG_PTO_DE_YTD) if you selected Date Earned as the PTO Balance Type for your business group. Otherwise use the Date Paid dimension (such as _ASG_PTO_YTD). See: Business Groups: Selecting a PTO Balance Type, Using Oracle HRMS––The Fundamentals • _ASG_PTO_YTD

and _ASG_PTO_DE_YTD The balance accumulates over a calendar year, resetting on 01 January. Select one of these dimensions if you are using the PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION formula. • _ASG_PTO_SM_YTD

and _ASG_PTO_DE_SM_YTD. The balance accumulates over a year, resetting on 01 June, or at the end of the payroll period that contains this date. Select one of these dimensions if you are using the PTO_SIMPLE_BALANCE_MULTIPLIER formula. • _ASG_PTO_HD_YTD

and _ASG_PTO_DE_HD_YTD

The balance accumulates over a year, resetting on the anniversary of the employee’s hire date, or at the end of the payroll period that contains this date. Select one of these dimensions if you are using the PTO_HD_ANNIVERSARY_BALANCE formula. If you require your balance to accumulate over a different period of time, or reset at a different date, you must create your own balance dimension. For further information on balance dimensions, see the technical essay “Balances in Oracle Payroll” in Implementing Oracle HRMS. Notice that the Oracle Payroll formula, payroll balance, element that feeds the balance, element link, and formula processing and result rules are all generated by the system when you save your accrual plan.

Step 7b: To add additional elements to an Accrual Plan select Net Calculation Rules:

The Net Calculation formula requires input of hours as well as the date that the PTO plan becomes effective. That means that any element associated with PTO plans must have two input values - one with Units type of Hours and one with Units type of Date. If both input values are not present, the element will not show in the list of values because the user will not be able to enter the necessary information for processing without them. If the element is not showing up in the LOV on this form, check the following: 1. Check the element definition for the element that is not showing up on the list of values. 2. Ensure that there are at least two input values; one with Unit type of Date and one with Unit type of Hours. (must be Hours in 2 decimal places) 3. Check the Link to Element to ensure Element is "Linked” 4.If an Earnings Element verify the Override Regular DFF is populated (See page 9)

About Formula’s:

Accrual Formulas Most accrual plan rules are incorporated in two formulas: • An Accrual formula, which calculates the amount of PTO accrued at any given time, and • A Carry Over formula, which returns the maximum amount of accrued time that a plan participant can carry over to the next plan period, the date on which this carry over is effective (normally the first day of the new accrual term), and any expiry date by which the carried over PTO must be used, or forfeited.

Seeded Accrual Type Formulas There are four seeded formulas (of formula type Accrual) for calculating accruals. Each repeatedly calls another formula (of type Accrual Subformula), in a loop, to calculate the accrual for each accrual period. There is a Carry Over formula supplied to use with each Accrual formula. The top level seeded Accrual formulas are: • PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION • PTO_SIMPLE_BALANCE_ MULTIPLIER • PTO_ROLLING_ACCRUAL • PTO_HD_ANNIVERSARY_BALANCE

The formulas with “Balance” in their names can be called from the payroll run to maintain a balance of gross accruals Note: There are also two seeded formulas called PTO_PAYROLL_CALCULATION and PTO_SIMPLE_MULTIPLIER. These incorporate the same rules as PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION and PTO_SIMPLE_BALANCE_ MULTIPLIER, except that they cannot be called from the payroll run to maintain a balance of gross accruals. We recommend that you use the formulas that support balances so you can use balances now or in the future.

11i HRMS

Almost Everything you Wanted to Know about PTO – Paid Time Off

Ineligibility Formula There is also a seeded Ineligibility formula: • PTO_INELIGIBILITY_CALCULATION

You may require an Ineligibility formula if you use BEE (Batch Element Entry) to enter absences against an accrual plan. BEE validation must ascertain whether an employee is eligible to use accrued PTO on the effective date of an absence entry in a batch line. First it checks the Accrual Plan table, so if you enter the period of ineligibility in the Accrual Plan window, you do not need to create an Ineligibility formula. If there is no ineligibility information in this table, BEE validation checks whether there is an Ineligibility formula to call. You need an Ineligibility formula if you use BEE and you calculate the period of ineligibility within your Accrual formula, rather than entering it in the Accrual Plan window. This formula is only used by BEE. Note: If you use the seeded formulas, you do not need an Ineligibility formula, because these formulas take the ineligibility period from the Accrual Plan table.

Description of Seeded Accrual Formulas PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION This formula calculates accruals in the same way as the accrual function in earlier releases of Oracle HRMS. It calls another formula that is called PTO_PAYROLL_PERIOD_ACCRUAL. It is designed to be used with the Carry Over formula PTO_PAYROLL_CARRYOVER. These formulas are based on the following rules: • An

accrual term of one calendar year, starting 1 Jan. So, accrual calculations restart at the beginning of each calendar year.

• An

accrual frequency based on the participant’s pay periods. So, employees on a monthly payroll accrue time each month, employees on semi–monthly payrolls accrue time twice each month, and so on. PTO accrual occurs automatically for each eligible plan participant on the last day of his or her pay period, independently of any payroll run.

• Accrual

amounts and ceiling are determined by length of service.

• Carry

over is always effective on 31 Dec of the plan year being processed. So, if you run the Carry Over process and specify the parameters ’15 January 2000’ and ’Previous’ (plan year), The formula calculates the carry over for the year 1 Jan to 31 Dec 1999 and the result has the effective date 31 Dec 1999.

• Carry

over expires at the end of the plan year. So carried over time with the effective date 31 Dec 1999 must be used before 31 Dec 2000.

• Maximum

carryover depends on length of service bands.

PTO_SIMPLE_BALANCE_MULTIPLIER This is a simple formula to provide a useful starting point for your own accrual plans. It calls another formula, called PTO_SIMPLE_PERIOD_ACCRUAL. It is designed to be used with the Carry Over formula PTO_SIMPLE_CARRYOVER. These formulas are based on the following rules: • An

accrual term of one calendar year, starting 1 June. So, accrual calculations restart at the beginning of each June.

• An

accrual frequency of one month.

• Accrual • Carry

amounts and ceiling are fixed within the formula.

over is always effective on 31 May of the plan year being processed.

• Carry

over expires at the end of the plan year. So carried over time with the effective date 31 May 1999 must be used before 31 May 2000.

• Maximum

carry over is fixed within the formula.

PTO_HD_ANNIVERSARY_BALANCE This formula is very similar to PTO_SIMPLE_BALANCE_MULTIPLIER, but the accrual start date is the anniversary of the employee assignment’s hire date. Note: Notice that the accrual term starts on the anniversary of the hire date. It is not affected by the entry of a continuous service date for an employee on enrollment in the plan. The continuous service date affects length of service calculations (for accrual bands and calculation of period of ineligibility), but it does not affect the accrual term.

PTO_ROLLING_ACCRUAL This is an example formula for an accrual plan that does not have a fixed term start date. It calls the formula PTO_ROLLING_PERIOD_ACCRUAL. It is designed to be used with the Carry Over formula PTO_ROLLING_CARRYOVER. These formulas are based on the following rules: • An

accrual term of one calendar year, with no fixed start date. Accruals are calculated for the previous 12 months.

• An

accrual frequency of one month.

• Accrual

amounts and ceiling are fixed within the formula.

• Carry

over is not relevant, since the accrual term never ends, but rolls forward. Time is lost if it is not used within 12 months.

Sums accruals in the 12 months ending on or before the calculation date; takes account of any employee termination date, ineligibility period, and accrual ceiling.

Changing and Adding Rules in Formulas If you write your own formulas (perhaps using the simple multiplier or rolling accrual formula as a basis) you can change any of these rules and add new rules as required. However, your formulas must return certain values and must check for certain conditions (such as employee termination) to avoid errors. For information about required formula content, see: Writing Formulas for Accrual Plans, Using Oracle FastFormula. For a sample accrual formula and suggestions on how to edit it to incorporate a whole range of plan rules, see: Sample Accrual Formula, Using Oracle FastFormula.

Accrual Start Date for New Hires Using the seeded PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION formula, accrual of PTO begins on a fixed date each year (01 January). For each plan that uses this formula, you can select a value in the Accrual Start field of the Accrual Plan window. This specifies when newly hired employees start to accrue PTO. The seeded choices are: • Hire Date • Beginning of Calendar Year • Six Months after Hire Date

after their hire date

If you need additional start rules, you can define them as values for the Lookup Type US_ACCRUAL_START_TYPE. You must add a line to the seeded formula to calculate the accrual start date using your new start rule. The other seeded formulas (PTO_SIMPLE_BALANCE_MULTIPLIER, PTO_HD_ANNIVERSARY_BALANCE, and PTO_ROLLING_ACCRUAL) do not use values in the Accrual Start field. For plans using these formulas, new hires begin accruing on their Sherri Harley HRMS

hire date or plan enrollment date, whichever is later. If you are writing your own accrual formulas, you can choose whether to use the Accrual Start field on the Accrual Plan form to specify start rules for new hires. This I s only useful if you are using the same formula for several accrual plans with different start rules. Otherwise you can specify the start rule within the formula.

Period of Ineligibility Some accrual plans require participants to work for a period of time, perhaps three or six months, before they are eligible to use accrued PTO. They accrue time at the usual rate during this time, but it is not registered on the system until the Period of Ineligibility expires. If plan participants take vacation or sick leave during this period, the system displays a negative value for accrued time. Many enterprises set up an absence type for ”approved but unpaid leave” to use for absences taken during periods of ineligibility. You can enter the period of ineligibility on the Accrual Plan form. The seeded Accrual formulas illustrate how a formula should use the entered values. They calculate the period of ineligibility from the continuous service date (if it was entered) or the employee’s hire date. Alternatively, you can define the period of ineligibility within your Accrual formula. Note: If you use the seeded formulas, time accrued during the ineligibility period is not carried over if the end of the accrual term falls within the ineligibility period.

Batch Element Entry and the Ineligibility Period If you want to use Batch Element Entry (BEE) to make absence entries against the accrual plan, the BEE validation process must be able to check when the ineligibility period expires. • If

you record the ineligibility period for the plan on the Accrual Plan form, BEE retrieves the ineligibility period directly from the table. It interprets it as a period of time from the employee’s continuous service date or hire date.

• If

the period of ineligibility is defined within your Accrual formula, you must associate an Ineligibility formula with the plan. BEE calls the formula, which returns Y or N to indicate whether the employee is eligible to use accrued PTO on the date supplied by BEE. This formula should calculate the end of the ineligibility period in the same way as the Accrual formula for the plan. If the employee is not eligible, the BEE validation process creates a warning on the batch line for the absence entry.

Note: If you use a custom method of entering timecard data, calling the Element Entry API, you can add logic to call the Ineligibility formula.

How the Seeded PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION Formula Interprets the Start Rules The formula calculates the start date from hire date and compares it with the employee’s plan enrollment date. Accrual begins on whichever of these two dates is later.

Start Rule: Hire Date

Almost Everything you Wanted to Know about PTO – Paid Time Off

For plans with this rule, participants’ accruals begin from the first full period following their hire date. For example, if the hire date of a participant on a semi–monthly payroll falls on the first day of either the first or second period in the month, PTO accrual starts as of that date. If the hire date falls sometime after the first of the month but before the end of the first period, accruals start in the second period of the month. If the hire date falls after the first day of the second period but before its end, accruals start with the first period in the next month.

Start Rule: Beginning of Calendar Year With this start rule, participants’ accruals begin from the start of the year following the year in which they are hired. This means that a participant with a hire date of 1 January 1999 and another with a hire date of 31 December 1999 both start to accrue time as of 1 January 2000. Notice that the amount of PTO each accrues may not be the same, as accrual amounts often depend on employees’ length of service.

Start Rule: Six Months After Hire For plans with this start rule, participants’ accruals do not begin until the first full pay period after the six–month anniversary of their hire date. For example, someone on a semi–monthly payroll who is hired on 5 February 1996, completes six months of service on 5 August 1996, and starts to accrue PTO in the second period in August. Notice that if people are hired on the first day of a period, their accruals begin with the pay period of the six–month anniversary of their hire date. For example, someone on a semi–monthly payroll who is hired on 1 February 1996 completes six months of service on 1 August 1996, and hence starts to accrue PTO in the first period in August. The period of ineligibility is not applicable to plans with the start rule Six Months After Hire.

Accrual Bands For many accrual plans, the time off that plan participants can accrue increases with their length of service, or varies by job, grade, or number of hours worked. That is, accrual bands determine accrual amounts. In addition, these bands can determine ceiling and maximum carry over amounts. Ceiling rules, found in some vacation accrual plans, set a maximum amount of PTO an employee can hold at any time. When a participant’s accrued PTO reaches the ceiling, no additional time accrues. Accruals begin again only after the participant uses some accrued time. In the PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION seeded formula, the accrual amount, ceiling and maximum permitted carry over depend on length of service bands. Alternatively, you can use bands based on other factors, such as grade, or a combination of factors, to determine the accrual amounts for your plans.

Length of Service Bands You set up length of service bands using the Accrual Bands window. For each band (such as 0 to 5 years of service), you can enter the accrual amount for the whole accrual term (such as an annual amount), an accrual ceiling, and the maximum permitted carry over.

Length of Service Override

Almost Everything you Wanted to Know about PTO – Paid Time Off

In Oracle HRMS, the first day of the month of an employee’s hire date is the default date from which his or her length of service is calculated for accrual purposes. For example, someone hired on 18 January 1997 completes one year of service on 1 January 1998, and someone hired on 31 December 1996 completes one year of service on 1 December 1997. For individual accrual plan participants, you can override the default date from which a plan starts its length of service calculations. This is useful for managing exceptional cases that arise when, for example, employees who already have accumulated periods of service in your enterprise transfer from one place to another. You enter the date override when enrolling a participant in a plan. Note: The default length of service start date (or the overriding continuous service date) determines the length of service for accrual bands and for the calculating the end of the ineligibility period. However it is not the same as the accrual start date. This is determined by the accrual start rules selected in the Accrual Plan window or set within the accrual formula.

Other Banding Criteria For some accrual plans, the amount of time accrued may vary by other criteria, such as job or grade. You can create a user table to hold time accrued, ceiling rules, maximum carryover rules, and any other information you require for each job or grade. See: User–Defined Tables, Configuring, Reporting, and System Administration in Oracle HRMS. Include the GET_TABLE_VALUE function in your accrual and carry over formulas for the plan to access the information held in the user table. For an example of using a user table to store banding criteria, see: Sample Accrual Formula, Using Oracle FastFormula.
